Summary

The study determines the EPA DHA uptake from different omega-3 supplements against a control.

Detailed description

The chronic uptake of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are commonly determined by measurement of EPA and DHA in red bloods cells and presented as a % of total fatty acids, the so-called Omega-3 Index. The index is a validated risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. Different fish oils may influence the Omega-3 Index differently depending on their composition. This study assesses omega-3 commonly found as a supplement vs a fish oil based on north atlantic fish species.
